If you're looking for one vehicle that is potentially more flexible, the Volt works since it can continue longer distances than a pure EV. But, My goal is a vehicle that does not have the engine to worry about with its attendant issues with spark plugs, oil changes, muffler rotting out. That can do repeated, short trips and never look back. I tried to sit in a Volt, and I just don't fit, which also makes things a no-go.
I have not had a chance to deal with a real i3 yet, but hope it does fit, and for 90% of my driving, it could work very well.
There are lots of different vehicles out there for good reason, people's needs and desires vary. Variety is the spice of life...this one is spicy.
